Jimmy probably says it better than I can in his song, “O the stories we could tell”. The story would be told about three families on spring break in search of adventure in Belize. Finding things like jungles, kickichu’s, bull sharks, Mayan ruins, diving the blue hole, fishing and having their catch cooked on the beach over an open fire, howler monkeys, exotic rain forests, night diving, etc.
That is some of the fun that the Korbans (Katherine, Dad, Lenny, and Matt), The Shiffletts (Bruce, Susan, Mary, and Chris) and my family Don and Susan Finlen had on there trip.
It was great fun diving with these families and watching each of their skills grow. The kids last years practice their fish I.D. in the keys so many of the fish they saw were familiar to them. The kids set some new best for themselves. You will have to ask them for the “411” on that.
Matt likes digital photography. Can you imagine being this young and having 2 night dives, and knowing many of the fish you see around you? What a diving future these kids have!
Much of the diving was done on the reef in front of our hotel. We often did our surface intervals back at the hotel. Hol Chan reserve had a lot of fish to see. It was not uncommon to see spotted eagle rays, and southern stingrays. We were encouraged to look in the channel on occasion, to watch for them.
I would like to thank everyone involved for letting us share our vacation with you. Hey Lenny, did you know who like his gift? What adventures will next year bring?
